Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown
Walkable Midtown suites with comfortable king beds, marred by dated dark decor and spotty weekend dining.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown provides a walkable base in Midtown that allows travelers to get around easily without renting a car. The suites feature comfortable king beds and bathrooms with good water pressure and handheld showerheads. However, the property shows noticeable age, with guests frequently criticizing dark outdated furniture, dirty windows, and limited food options on weekends. 21011

- “Each suite provides premium bedding, stylish decor, and city views, ensuring a comfortable stay.” 11
- “Wicker furniture. It's cute. It's cute. It's dark though. They really went for a dark theme. I think that was a bad choice. Especially how it's always overcasty in Atlanta. Dark furniture doesn't really work.” On camera1012:23
- “If I had to find something negative about the Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown, it would be that in-room wi-fi was not free at the time (Marriott has since changed its policy to provide free wi-fi for Marriott Rewards members booking directly from Marriott).” 2
- “JW in Buckhead was just fine. The suites are set up for trade shows with a bedroom and another room for meetings connected through a little hallway. We talked them into one but the shape was odd for 2 people.” 4
- “So, here we're in the back half of the room. We do have the lovely Chase lounge chair over here that looks like it's definitely seen some better days.” On camera105:51

- “There we go. It's picking up all the dirt on the windows because they're so dirty, y'all.” On camera107:52
- “But also the weight staff at that restaurant that was in like the hotel bar area, she could have given two cares less about us. She went on break mid thing and there was other waitresses in the restaurant, but instead of passing us off to one, she's just like, I'm going to be back in about 30 minutes and it was an hour later and an hour later she showed back up.” On camera1016:52
- “The cleanliness of the hotel, I want to touch back on just real fast. There was like trash in the hallways that didn't get picked up.

- “I'd down vote the W. The rooms are threadbare, the food is not worth it, and the staff is just apathetic.” 4
- “Element downtown is nice but service was atrocious. Also If your expecting a full spread for breakfast, you'll be sadly mistaken and ultimately told 'tough shit' by staff.” 4
- “I'll second the Epicurian. Lovely hotel, friendly people.” 4
- “It looks like, take that for what it is, but the windows are extremely dirty. We are on the top floor. So, that's interesting.

- “I was at the Epicurean and it was surprisingly nice. It has a great midtown location and close to subway.” 4
- “You can see in the the show notes, I'll I'll link the video where we left in the morning to go to the airport. There was at least 15 cops that we passed just like hanging out in different areas around there. So, to me, that tells you that's not very safe.” On camera1018:21
- “The Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown is very well located. The Midtown area of Atlanta is walkable so this a great location to base yourself if not driving or renting a car.” 2
